Review by Jon Wilson for The Butterfly Box by Okito-Williams

5 out of 5 I have never seen this performed before tonight. Andy – I thought your performance [and not so quick,] was great actually. I was just speaking to a another collector of magic the other night that has this trick and I have heard of it a bit before, but never seen it …

Review by Andy Martin for Oriental Sleeve Production by Michael Baker, Okito, Berg

5 out of 5 Although Okito almost certainly didn’t invent this type of production tube he did feature it in his act and Michael based his beautiful version on Okito’s versions featured in Dr. Albo’s books: The Oriental Magic of The Bambergs and The Ultimate Okito. It makes for a wonderful production device because it …
